More Information
Summary:The present invention refers to the design of an artificial calibrating virus (ACV), as well as a methodology quality guarantee system, which has controlling characteristics in the performance of all the stages carried out during a detection and/or quantification molecular test. More specifically, the referred to ACV is used for the validation and calibration of quantitative determinations of circulating viruses in blood plasma samples by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology in real time (or 'real time PCR').
